She has fought the best in her division, at pretty much the same point in her career as he started fighting the best in his division. Yeah, she's got her Jeremy Screetons and Wes Arbittrons too, but she is fighting the best in her division now.

What you do outside MMA doesn't mean you did shit inside MMA. Honda deserves a ton of credit for picking up where Gina left off. Difference being Gina actually fought Cyborg. I welcome your down votes as I know this view is unpopular. I am just presenting another point of view on the matter. People will look back wondering why Ronda didn't fight Cyborg, and her legacy will be tarnished as a result. Fedor never fought in the UFC, and that makes many people look sideways at him. People will point out that Ronda could fight the weight Cyborg is at, but chose not to.

ironjosh - to be fair, any guy Tito fought is a more skilled athlete than any woman.

only one guy in titos first nine fights is worth mentioning and thats wanderlei. God rest Evans tanners soul but he was not an elite fighter.

Just like how the only one of Rhonda's wins worth mentioning is Miesha? There isn't enough talent in the 135 womens weight class right now, just like how there was very little talent around at titos level at the start of his career...

Best in her original division is Cyborg who she's ducking, Conen is 2nd best at 135 IMO. It's obviously not incredibly deep so Im not sure why she gets so much props for beating 2 legit contenders.

I'm not saying Rousey isn't talented, but she looks more impressive than she actually is due to the low talent in the pool of fighters that exist in her division. You could say she is beyond the current landscape of her division, but the truth is her division is primitive.

Dana is a promoter who needs to sell her mythology. Nothing nefarious in that though, that's what promoters do.

I wish the whole Dana vs. Tito thing would end in every aspect of mma and life. It's just annoying now anytime either of them make disparaging remarks about the other. They both go out of their way to do it

KboyFresh - Dana's logic is mindless, sport grappling and MMA are two completely different things. Using one to justify a position in another doesn't make much sense to me.

Look at Tito's first nine fights and then compare them to Ronda's. I'm almost insulted that Dana would compare Tito's 40 minutes to Ronda's 10. Tito faced killers, Ronda not really.

Yeah, killers like Guy Metzger. Well, Tito lost that one, but...

I love how misogynistic foobs think 90s mma was more competitive than olympic judo. Being the first American to medal in a sport that has been practiced all over the world for over a hundred years is a slightly bigger deal than winning most of your matches in a sport that has 20 people competing in it. *eye roll*

Yeah, Guy Metzger, the former King of Pancrase. How long has Pancration been around?
